A lot of you were moved by (and forwarded and tweeted) the article I linked to about Roger Ebert's current condition. If you read that, you'll want to read Ebert's latest journal entry in which he discusses the article and the reaction to it.
Thanks to Shelly Goldstein for telling me about this. Shelly, by the way, is resuming her cabaret career after too long a hiatus. Sunday, April 18, she'll be singing songs of the sixties at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. I'll post details here soon but if you're in Southern California, you might want to enter that date in your Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar or whatever you use. Some folks, I hear, still have calendars on paper.
